chmod does not work on N900
 
I compiled a file using the scratchbox on the frematle-armel target. And I save it directly to the MyDocs folder of my N900.

When I try to execute it I am not able because it has execution permission. I make "sudo gainroot" and execute "chmod a+x program" but it does not let me to execute it. Pleasee, could someone tell me the reason.

Thanks!

You cant run file on MyDocs folder because it is on FAT partition. Copy that binary for example to /opt/ and it should work...

UNIX permissions don't do anything on a FAT partition. MyDocs is a FAT partition. Move it up a dir or two and set permissions and +x flg.

It's because your MyDocs is formatted as FAT32. You have to put the file somewhere else, e.g. in /opt/.

EDIT: Ok, you guys beat me to it;-)
